[Bf-committers] OS X update to XCode 4 breaks compiling

Has anyone checked if eigen3 compiles and if so upgrading to eigen3?

Sounds like it is the better choice and can be used with eigen 2 API
support if needed.

At least when I logged in I saw the link on the right side of the page.  However its safe to assume Apple has no intentions of supporting Xcode3 from here on out.  So you probably still have another year or so before Apple drops support for it all together.
